Like China

Last month, I took an adventure outside the normal realms of Life in Colorado. I traveled to Guangzhou, China. I flew from Denver to Los Angeles and then Los Angles to Guangzhou. The Los Angeles to Guangzhou flight was around 15 hours. I left Denver on the afternoon of February the 10th and arrived in Guangzhou the morning of February the 12th. I actually slept a little on the flight. Guangzhou is located in southeast China in the Pearl River Delta. Hong Kong is at the mouth of the delta/river. Guangzhou is the third largest city in China at around 13 million in the city. The metro area is probably 20 million. So it is easily the biggest city in which I have visited. I usually do my posts on this blog chronologically, but I decided to go with themes for this trip. For this first post, the pictures will focus on Guangzhou during the daytime.

Beijing Road - The old roads are preserved for viewing here.  They go back as far as 1244.

I liked this restaurant sign

A pole catching performance at Grandview Mall.  It was quite impressive.

Guangzhou is known for flowers.  So there are lots of flowers on display as well as flower themed markets during the Spring Festival

Totem poles?
